Important update re phishing emails 

Like many organisations, we’ve been made aware of an increase in phishing emails across Australia. Some common signs that an email you’ve received might be a phishing email include: a suspicious email address, spelling and grammar mistakes, and suspicious attachments. 

We will only ever send you emails from a ‘@halaxy’ email address, for example community@halaxy.com. This increase in phishing emails is another reason why we recommend all Halaxy users enable at least 2 unique two-factor authentication (2FA) methods on their Halaxy account. Enabling multiple 2FA methods is a quick and easy way to add an extra layer of security to your account.
